Kenyans on social media have condemned the attack, calling for accountability and stricter measures to protect public officials. Meanwhile, officials have urged calm, emphasizing the need for dialogue over confrontation. The incident highlights ongoing challenges in balancing political expression with public safety in Kenya.
